Durham County is produced by Muse Entertainment Enterprises and Back Alley Film Productions Ltd., and is a co-production of The Movie Network and Movie Central.

In addition to Durham County, The Movie Network’s upcoming slate of Canadian original drama programming also includes ZOS: Zone of Separation and The Line.  Premiering on January 19, 2009, the Paul Gross co-executive produced series ZOS: Zone of Separation is an eight-part drama series about the life and death struggle to enforce a U.N.-brokered ceasefire in a fictional, Sarajevo-like town. The Line, a 15-part drama from George F. Walker and Dani Romain about a collection of cops, criminals and everybody in between as they all come together in a suburban wasteland, is scheduled to premiere in March 2009.
